start with scouting

Chapter 375 FMVP Belonging
With many discussions, the rest of the day is over, and the fifth game day of the Lakers and Heat finals arrives.

At [-]:[-] p.m., the entire Lakers team arrived at the American Airlines Arena by bus and started various pre-match training step by step.

After arranging the training content, Su Yang went back to the sideline and sat down, chatting with Mike Brown and other assistants to discuss the hot topics in the outside world.

"Aha, "Bleacher Report" pointed out that LeBron and Wade's cooperation efficiency ranks first in NBA history when they are on the fast break and counterattack, but they restrict each other when they attack and defend in the half court. As long as LeBron is the boss by default, Wade and Bosh have also publicly and clearly expressed the hope that LeBron will lead the team, but in fact..."

Assistant coach Mike Brown excitedly relayed the "Bleacher" article to his mobile phone. Su Yang thought while listening, and then answered: "I agree with this point of view. In the first two games of the finals, LeBron and Wade gave up the ball to each other and took care of each other. feel each other..."

Since the Heat's Big Three teamed up in 2010, how LeBron and Wade can effectively coexist in the half court has become a hot topic among many fans. It's really embarrassing.

Strictly speaking, LeBron's personal ability surrounds Wade in many areas. Sometimes it is better to lead the team alone, but Wade is a superhero of the Heat. Coach Spoelstra cannot and does not dare to let Wade sit on the bench for a long time. The scalp should also be on.

Those are more difficult problems than designing tactics. Thinking about it carefully, it is not easy for Spoelstra as the head coach to coach the Big Three. In order to make the most efficient use of LeBron and Wade, he actually developed a method that allows LeBron to play consecutively in the second quarter to lead the team. rotation strategy.

Wade and LeBron are not easy either. In order to better coexist with each other in the half-court offense and defense, Wade crazily rehearses off-ball moves. Brown also worked hard on shooting and back hitting.

Anyway, if you want to win the championship, you need to pay a lot of effort and cost, even if Su Yang cheats, it's just to save time.

While thinking about it, he continued: "We still have to beware of LeBron leading the team to chase points alone, and we can't relax the suppression of his shots too much. He has the super reversal ability, such as the consecutive jump shots against the Pistons back then..."

After the voice fell, several teaching assistants nodded one after another.

"It was indeed a game in which LeBron forcibly led the team to reverse. He made 33 of 18 shots in that game and only had 2 turnovers..." Mike Brown, as a witness of LeBron scoring 25 points in a row to beat the Pistons, recalled the data still fresh.

As early as 2011, Steve Kerr, the first three-pointer in history, the former general manager of the Suns, and the future head coach of the Warriors, pointed out as a commentator in a Heat game: LeBron is a Intermittent pitcher.

The word "intermittent shooter" was originally used by Phil Jackson to describe Pippen, which means that sometimes the shots are fierce and sometimes the shots are stretched. LeBron's shooting is almost the same as Pippen, although the ball holding ability is more Much better than Pippen.

When playing games, I am afraid of encountering LeBron, who is in a super shooting state. That is really the state of God of War, and he cannot be restricted efficiently.

"ESPN has an interview, Bosh emphasized that the Heat will strictly prevent Diaw, Kobe and Curry tonight..." Assistant coach McMillan said, "If these remarks are not smoke bombs, it means that the Heat look down on our ability in the paint area. offensive threat."

"They have reason to belittle..."

Su Yang thought it was normal for Bosh to say that, because in the first four games of the finals, Gasol was the absolute main player inside the Lakers. The highest score was 19 points in the third game, the lowest score was 9 points in the second game, and the , as many as six Lakers scored in double figures.

"If they're going to do that, we're going to give Gasol the ball. He's absolutely capable of dominating the game."

Su Yang directly made the decision, even a little happy. At the beginning of the main season, the Lakers management chose to send Gasol away in order to get Paul. As a result, no matter what trade comments appeared later, Gasol could be involved, and countless people Look down on Gasol.

But Su Yang knows what kind of ability Gasol possesses. He left the Lakers in his previous life and went to the Bulls. Brilliant performance.

I am worried that there is no game to help Gasol rebuild his confidence. If the Heat take the initiative to cooperate, it will be an assist from heaven.

"ESPN interview, and Coach Spoelstra speaking..."

Assistant coach Snyder suddenly laughed, "Coach Spoelstra mentioned that the Heat always wanted to kill the Lakers inside and outside at the same time, but the actual effect was very poor, and our Lakers had a tendency to defend before and successfully restricted the Heat's offensive and defensive transitions. Let the Heat coaching staff be inspired, so at this critical moment, they are willing to try boldly and hope to achieve a good result."

In the first four games, no matter whether Bosh or Haslem participated in the outside double-team, they all quickly retreated to defend Gasol or Hill, and even McRoberts, Diaw, LeBron and others would also be on the weak side and the basket. , to provide auxiliary defense or complementary defense.

That kind of operation makes the Heat tired of rotation, and the physical strength is exhausted very quickly, which affects the offensive state and reduces the scoring efficiency. But sometimes it can make mistakes, and then launch a fast break, helping the Heat to play the rhythm they are best at. It is a double-edged sword. .

"Sounds like the real thing..."

Su Yang chuckled, feeling more and more that Spoelstra may arrange heavy troops to guard against the Lakers' outside offense. After all, Spoelstra made a sudden change before and let Wade lead the second quarter's substitute lineup, and achieved good results. He has the basis for greatly adjusting the Heat's G5 defense. .

But after much deliberation, the real goal of the Heat should be to lock up Diaw, because it is too difficult to lock up Curry and Kobe, and Diaw is directly or indirectly serious in supporting the Lakers' offense and defensively interfering with LeBron. Hurt the Heat.

While chatting, the pre-match training is over.

Su Yang rushed to the media center as planned, and was interviewed by various reporters Sai Cai. The first question involved FMVP.

"May I ask if you support Kobe or Curry more? According to statistics, Curry is more popular for getting FMVP..."

Su Yang has seen too many times about discussing the FMVP in advance, such as the inferior character. The 11 Heat, 13 Spurs, 16 Warriors, and 21 Nets all had no good results. Of course, they were awarded in advance. In the end, they really got their wish .

"If we win this game, I think the FMVP should be awarded to Boris Dior, he is omnipotent..." Su Yang made a fool of himself and didn't intend to seriously discuss it with the reporter, so he praised Dior as a strange man in the NBA in a few words .

The interview ended quickly, and at 06:30 in the afternoon, the fifth game of the finals between the Lakers and the Heat was officially held, and the audience was full.

President Obama temporarily appeared in the arena, waving to more than 8000 fans and shouting: YES WE CAN!
That shout made the Heat fans and players extremely excited, as if some kind of buff had been applied.

"Ah, Ao Guanhai is the best. I don't have the ability to ignite the emotions of tens of thousands of people with such a slogan..." Su Yang was emotional, and turned his head to look at the field. He saw a huge American flag, and the announcer was passionate. The voice followed.

"Good evening! Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the 2012 NBA Finals. The two sides are the Los Angeles Lakers and our Miami Heat. Now I invite Heat player James Jones to serve as our American hero soldier..."

Su Yang shook his head when he heard the words, thinking that the Americans really know how to engage in propaganda, the methods are quite clever, and ordinary people will be very excited when they see it.

The pre-game ceremony ended instead, and the announcer briefly introduced the Lakers' starting lineup, followed by an enthusiastic introduction of the Heat's starting lineup.

Mike Miller still started the game, Bosh topped the center position, the Lakers' starter remained the same, and the game officially started.

Amidst the cheers of the audience, the Heat won the jump ball, started directly in the bullhorn formation, and then received a cross-cutting run by Iverson.

Wade took the ball at 45 degrees on the left side, used the pick-and-roll to make a breakthrough, stopped at the waist and turned around and threw the ball to the free throw line. Bosh, who had run there before, received the basketball and faced Gasol without hesitation. With a flying lunge, the basketball went into the net with a bang.

The two teams switched offense and defense, LeBron took the initiative to lead the defense against Kobe, and also put pressure on the right side of the arena in advance, aggressively.

"It's really coming..."

Su Yang laughed out loud, lamenting that the Heat were really preparing to prevent a deadlock against Kobe, and they still arranged for LeBron to be in charge of the defense.

In the blink of an eye, Gasol scored in a mid-range shot.
